the lost of cognitive ability among those of us that are in the winter of our lives is on the increase...IMHO, all testing is going to do is put a name on the beast, and give you a rough estimate on which stage some one is in
It's a terrible disease....it breaks your heart
Good luck and God bless you for being the caregiver that you obviously are...it's not easy

hypobaric helps. not aviv, cuz they are too expensive, but there are area treatment centers who do provide the service @ a cheaper cost. it's not a cure, but helps with the terrible symptoms of sundowning, restless activity, & concentration. after mark's 1st set of treatments he was able to hold a basic conversation with his oldest daughter in 2 years--there's no pricetag on that. he is actually able to sit & listen to music, & shows interest in the things he once enjoyed. (the super-oxygen produces stem cells & healing)
